This is a tutorial that aims to assist in understanding some basic commands on linux and git.
The commands that we are going to cover on this tutorial are the following:
- man [An interface to the on-line reference manuals] Should be used along side --help in order to better understand a command.
- pwd [Prints the full filename of the current working directory.]
- ls (-l) [List information about the files (the current directory by default). Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort is specified.]
- cd [Navigates to the specified directory.]
- mkdir [Create the directory(ies), if they do not already exist.]
- rm [Removes files or directories.]
- cp [Copies files and directories.]
- mv [Moves, renames files.]
- nano, vi, gedit [Creates files and edits them, nano and vi are on terminal editors while using another editor such as gedit will open that editor.]
- touch [Similar with the other editors although is mostly used to change file timestamps.]
- chmod [Change the file mod bits.]
- grep [Prints lines matching a pattern.]
- dolphin ./ [Depending on the operating system the appropriate explorer must be used.]
- sudo [Allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user.]
- apt-get
- update
- upgrade
- pugre
- apt-cache search
- ssh [OpenSSH SSH client for remote login]
- scp [Secure copy for remote file copy]
- zip, unzip
- ifconfig [Configures a network interface, also prints network information.]
- uname [Prints system information.]
- ping [Sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to network hosts and provides info regards the jumps.]
Git is a version control service that allows us to work on our projects with a use of handy tools such as:
-
Versioning along with history.
-
Branching
-
Stashing
-
Even distributing of a release.
-
Git Bash installation
$ sudo apt install git-all
- In order for the example program to run python must be installed.
$ python3 --version //In order to check if we already have a version installed.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python3.6
- Git clients
wget https://release.gitkraken.com/linux/gitkraken-amd64.deb
dpkg -i gitkraken-amd64.deb
Git global setup:
$ git config --global user.name "User Name"
$ git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Can check it by using:
$ git config --list
Create a new repository:
$ git clone [email protected]:UserName/linux-git-tutorial.git
$ cd linux-git-tutorial
$ touch README.md
$ git add README.md
$ git commit -m "add README"
$ git push -u origin master
Existing folder:
$ cd existing_folder
$ git init
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:UserName//linux-git-tutorial.git
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
$ git push -u origin master
Existing Git repository:
$ cd existing_repo
$ git remote rename origin old-origin
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:UserName//linux-git-tutorial.git
$ git push -u origin --all
$ git push -u origin --tags
Create a new commit and push it to branch master:
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "New commit message."
$ git push -u origin master
Fetch any changes from master in order to merge them after:
$ git fetch
$ git merge
Pull any changes from master:
$ git pull
